Misunderstanding by sample Just now is
almost out of the question, as offerings are too
slim to admit of any great volume of business.
Prominent exporters have no vessels to load,
and therefore are not in the market as buyers.
Under such circumstances, it is evident that
activity is not possible. In the absence of any
shipping business we quote No. grades nom
ina1 at 81 IS 2 ctl For lots adapted for the bet
ter class of milling wants, the range in price is
81 o0@1 S21a z ctl In the speculative market
fGmes are quite brisk, and daily transactions
foot up tolerably heavy aggregate. Seller con-
tracts for May now deliverable, and it is said
that, on notice being given this morning. buyers
expressed Willingness to accept at once instead
of waiting the usual number of DAYS if it were
any accommodation to sellers. This circum-
stance was generally considered an indication
that the situation was under good control, and
no immediate weakening in rates was antici-
pated.
